Cardinals vs Steelers
In case you weren't sure who Shaun & Earl will be cheering for tomorrow, just check last year's 7th grade roster for the miniature Troy Polamalu.
Team, you might want to root for the Steelers as well. The severity of your practice hangs in the balance.

6th Grade Great 48
"Great tourney this weekend! In my opinion, the guys did really well.
And it's all because of your support, I'm sure of this. We had the
opportunity to see them do a great deal of growing and improving from
game to game. I can't wait to get back to practice and sharpen up some
of the weaknesses that were exposed this weekend."

Seattle MLK Tournament
Consolation Champions
The 8th Black team comes back as Consolation Champions in their division for the second year in a row.
After a tough start to a very competitive weekend RIB Sports bounced back with a tough but well deserved win in their second game against Team Vision from Washington. I thought I was watching an NBA playoff game because of how physical the refs let the game get. But after a few technical's and bodies hitting the floor the kids showed a lot of heart and perseverance as they out lasted a worn down Team Vision.
Next up for RIB was an undersized Team Access also from the Seattle area. RIB made easy work of Access Warriors to go 2-0 on the day and set up a Consolation Championship game with the Bellevue Wolverines Monday afternoon. At first it looked as if RIB would be able to coast to victory as they ran the lead up to 16 points closing out the first half.
The second half was a totally different game as Bellevue showed they had a lot of fight in them closing the gap quickly and sending the game into overtime. After a few mistakes and missed freethrows by both teams RIB finally took control by making the last shot with the game tied with two seconds left in the game to win it!
